Begs the question why nobody, including the crew applied the Heimlich Maneuver. Had to do it once in LAX to my Flight Engineer who had swallowed a piece of steak without first chewing it sufficiently. Worked like a charm.

Whilst we had him checked out at the local hospital to ensure there was no brain damage due to oxygen starvation he was able to crew the return flight.
